Easy Entry/Exit Seat (Available With Memory Seat
Only)
This feature provides automatic driver seat positioning to
enhance driver mobility when entering and exiting the
vehicle.
The distance the driver seat moves depends on where you
have the driver seat positioned when you cycle the vehi-
cle’s ignition to the OFF position.
•When the ignition is cycled to the OFF position, the
driver seat will move about 2.4 inches (60 mm) rearward
if the driver seat position is greater than or equal to 2.7
inches (67.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. The seat will
return to its previously set position when the ignition is
cycled out of the OFF position.
• When the ignition is cycled to the OFF position, the
driver seat will move to a position 0.3 inches (7.7 mm)
forward of the rear stop if the driver seat position is
between 0.9 – 2.7 inches (22.7 – 67.7 mm) forward of the
rear stop. The seat will return to its previously set
position when the ignition is cycled out of the OFF
position.
• The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled when the
driver seat position is less than 0.9 inches (22.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. At this position, there is no
benefit to the driver by moving the seat for Easy Exit or
Easy Entry.
Each stored memory setting will have an associated Easy
Entry and Easy Exit Position.
NOTE: The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature can be enabled or
disabled through the programmable features within the
Uconnect system. For further information, refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”.
